Our wonderful wood artists include:

 

 

Perry Holbrook Educated and trained as an engineer, after 25 years in the corporate world, Perry Holbrook's career as a craft artist began in 2002.  As a self taught wood craftsman, he became interested in the mixing of other media with the wood.  Today his art incorporates fused glass, copper, steel, and clay as well as wood.  His mixed media boxes are an ever growing assortment.  Each box has a lift off fused glass lid with the body of the box made from contrasting media.  Functional, sculptural, and great eye appeal for home or office!

 

 

 

 

Bernhard Voss – A local St. Louis artist who recycles locally grown hardwoods, giving them new life as sculptural wood-turned vessels, bowls and boxes. To Bernard Voss, wood is the most exquisite of all materials.  It has warmth, color and personality; the history of its life is revealed in its rings. 

By the way, we are excited to have a Bernhard Voss triangular shaped box; as Bernhard is one, of only a few Master Wood-turners in the world, who can create them!

 

Jonathan Spoons -   offers assorted wooden spoons that are as beautiful as they are functional.  The Lazy Spoons (Shown to right) rest comfortably on the edge of your pot, waiting patiently to stir and serve plus they are available for lefties too! Tom Reed - hand carves his creative cooking utensils out of beautiful woods from all over the world. When you seen the elegant shapes, touch and feel the curves and silky smooth finish, it's then that his wood creations become art
Moon Spoon - a collaboration of 3 artists, creating functional cherry wood utensils with flame-blackened edges.

 

Kentucky Spring - handcrafts salad tongs that make it easy to serve pasta, steamed vegetables, hot bread and salads with one hand. They are also designed to fold flat for storage
